BIOGRAPHY: Quite simply, Dante is the quintessential '80s action hero in video game form, with an occult angle thrown in for good measure. As a mercenary who investigates demon activity, Dante's quests frequently pit him against the darkest creatures on Earth. Dante's past is a bit twisted, as he is in fact the son of a demon, raised by a human mother. The death of his mother at the hands of evil is what sets Dante down his reckless, action-packed path.

TIPS & TRICKS: "Dante has a massive amount of special moves, and an answer to almost anything an opponent throws at him. One of his strongest abilities is if he's getting kept outside, he can teleport above and behind the enemy, no matter where they are on the screen. He's definitely the Ryu of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in many respects.

"I think one of his weaknesses will be that he'll be a common opponent, so people will have a lot of experience against him. Another liability is that while he has a great offense, he struggles to overcome a strong defense, particularly if they can dodge his attacks. He also doesn't have the greatest projectile game or any sort of powerful grab. Dante players might also get frustrated against characters with strong offenses, so they need to watch out for that as well." - Seth Killian
